Chile's Villarrica Volcano Erupts; 3,500 People Evacuated!!!Picture 6 is Scary!!West Coast Pay Attention

SANTIAGO, Chile — A volcano in southern Chile erupted early Tuesday, spewing heavy smoke and lava and prompting officials to evacuate thousands of people in the surrounding area. The Villarica volcano erupted around 3 a.m., according to the National Emergency Office, which issued a red alert and ordered evacuations.

Lots of earthquakes

The government held an emergency meeting with the police and military in the presidential palace in Santiago on Tuesday morning to discuss the situation.

1964 eruption

The two last weeks of February in 1964 the volcano showed signs of unrest, such as small but still violent lava effusions followed by temblors. On March 1 at 2:45 am the volcano begun a strombolian eruption. Dwellers at Coñaripe, a wood-logger town, woke up in the night and fled to the surroundings hills while it was raining after hearing strong noises and temblors. As the volcano was capped by an early autumn snowfall to its foothills[citation needed] the melting for snow and ice from Pichillancahue-Turbio Glacier produced together with the heavy rainfalls several lahars. Coñaripe, then located on the northwestern shores of Calafquén Lake, had about half of its buildings destroyed and was later reconstructed further east.

Just saying things are connected

1971 eruption

On October 29, 1971, at 4:00 am, several explosions were heard from the crater, according to skiers and staff working at the Villarrica ski resort on the slope of the volcano. The same day a small column of white smoke was seen at the top of the volcano and later the same day the white column alternated with black smoke. One month later on December 29, quarter to midnight, Villarrica begun a new eruptive cycle. Pyroclasts were ejected and the snow surrounding the crater and on some parts of the slopes melted due to the heat. This was followed by a brief halt in activity followed by the opening of a new vent in the northeast flank through which lava went out. The lava flows melted considerable amounts of water, causing several lahars that went down through the troughs and valleys of the volcanic edifice. The lahars affected the localities of Pichaye, El Turbio, Collentañe, Minetué, Molco, Voipir and Curarrehue, all of them in the Trancura River's basin. In the larger settlements of Villarrica and Pucón, toxic sulphurous gases from the volcano turned the air unbreathable for moments. At least 15 people were reported to have died because of the eruptio

The 1971 San Fernando earthquake (also known as the Sylmar earthquake) occurred in the early morning of February 9 in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in southern California. The unanticipated thrust earthquake had a moment magnitude of 6.5 or 6.7 (as determined by several independent institutions) and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme). The event was one in a series that affected the Los Angeles area in the late 20th century, and a study of the Sierra Madre Fault during that time indicated that more substantial thrust earthquakes had occurred near the Transverse Ranges in the past. Damage was locally severe in the northern San Fernando Valley, and surface faulting was extensive to the south of the epicenter in the mountains, as well as urban settings along city streets and neighborhoods. Uplift and other effects affected private homes and business

Every this has a major eruption West Coast has had major EQ

Doom is as doom does!

There is another thread about it too, with pics and videos.

Hope it's ok to share the link here....
Thread: Villarica volcano. Incredible pics!! WOW!!

Eta - and the other thread got pinned too, while I posted this. Whoops.

yes sure this could be big

Great job on the report, Goofy for God!

This area is a tourist destination, according to the
information. Imagine how scarey it would be to be
on vacation and have something like this happen.
We are probably going to see more quakes the next
day or two because we've had 3 major solar eruptions.
...not to mention a full-moon!
Thanks for the up-date!
O'sCookie

did you see what happened on West US Coast last 2 major eruptions

below that I see eyes and a body in yellow

West Coast in past there was some time between this events , if I lived there would be as prepared as you can be in something like this

And to think I was not going to post today

Someone on here the other day had mentioned a person on FB and said that their predictions for EQ's are always correct. The person had said that around March 2nd a large EQ could happen in the Pacific NW, or Japan, or 2 other places. Hmmm. We will see I guess.

Yes that too!!

The earthquake initially had a magnitude of 8.5 on the Richter scale. The moment magnitude scale, a better measure of seismic power, has since superseded the Richter scale. The new size estimate is magnitude 9.2, the second most powerful ever recorded.

Volcano was last week of Feb and EQ in Alaska was March

If it triggers an earthquake, I will endeavor to keep you informed.

Reverse EQ in Ca in Feb then in Oct Volcano

Hope so...be safe my friend.

Very interesting correlation OP.

for more info

Omg picture 6 very worth checking out.. Wicked, he'll a cool. Isn't it amazing., how many of you hit save copy? Wow

Thanks, between these 2 threads we can track this.

good job OP. Five stars.
